• The Measurement and Improvement Initiative provides IIS with
information and guidance to align with the IIS Functional Standards.*
• The Initiative has created a three-stage process for IIS to measure
their alignment with current standards:
– Testing and Discovery gathers preliminary information on
community alignment with standards.
– IIS Assessment involves more formal testing to measure individual
IIS systems using IIS community-selected measures and tests.
– Validation is a summary stage to acknowledge and share results
for IIS that are progressing toward or achieving alignment with
community-selected measures and tests.
* The IIS Functional Standards are a set of specifications which describe the operations, data quality,
and technology needed by IIS to support immunization programs, vaccination providers, and other
immunization stakeholders.
